Imagine in a very dark room. There is no light. You happen to be the only one who has a torch. What would you do? I believe no sensible person would think that because everyone is in the dark, I should also turn my light off. What this person should do is to bring the light into the room, and try to find out where the power button is so that this person can switch on the light.
As Christian, we are the one who has a torch.
Jesus said that we are the light of the world. In Luke 8:16, Jesus said,
No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
For instance, your workplace may be full of darkness. Power and politics are inappropriately exercised and you feel that you are manipulated by your boss. You are afraid of telling your colleagues that you are a Christian because helplessness and loneliness make you think that you are unable to show good testimony that glorifies the name of God. You eventually give up showing Christian's qualities - love, care, hope ...
As Christian, we should never cover up our true identity. Because there is no love, no hope and no one cares about others, we should be the one who bring light into the room. We should not just keep our light on, but also find out the switch of the light so that the whole room is bright and warm. Let Jesus comes into their lives so that they will also become the light of the world.
